We have indeed posted lots about Rezzed. (It’s actually been 13 posts out of the 920 since it was first announced – Passive-Aggressive Ed.) But here is a generous reminder to encourage you to join us at the inaugural PC and Indie Games show, taking place in Brighton Friday and Saturday this week. Because it’s actually going to be really great!

Not only will a bunch of hotly anticipated unreleased games be playable on the show floor, but there’s also a bunch of super-famous gaming types giving presentations, and perhaps most excitingly of all, the opportunity to meet Eurogamer’s Tom “Tom Bramwell” Bramwell, along with the RPS hivemind and Eurogamer collective. And I’m guaranteeing a free hug for everyone who buys a ticket.

Most important, of course, are the two events RPS is directly in charge of. There’s the extremely ambitious Rock, Paper, Shotgun Gamejam, at 4pm on Saturday, during which a collection of gaming creatives will attempt to make a game in less than an hour. That could be pretty interesting, and well worth heading along to see.

Our other event is the 5th Annual International RPS Indie Mud Wrestling Championships. That’s at the hangoverly hour of 11am on Saturday, but we implore you to struggle along anyway. The deeply peculiar panelquizgame will genuinely involve hangover treatment, along with many rounds of oddness, featuring John as your host, with team captains Adam and Alec, along with indie developers Dave “Smudged Cat” Johnston and Andrew “Spilt Milk” Smith.

This is going to be one of the few big events I’ve been to in the last few years where I actually bother to queue up for the panels and speakers. This looks even more appealing than Eurogamer Expo (which was very good last year).

Why, why, oh why is this on the same weekend as the fast-cars-drive-round-a-track weekend at Silverstone? The £12 I’d have spent on this would’ve been far more worth it than the £200 I forked out for F1. Oh well, I now know better for next year!

Yes, a show where you don’t see gamepads used for everything under a guise that is it easier to showcase, and where dumbness and oversimplification is not whored for mass purposes that nobody wanted in the first place :)

Oh and nothing is or was dead anyway, only the brain of that marketing machine.

On a side note, I went and looked around for mentions of Rezzed and it’s quite evident how certain sites, or should I say certain journo zone… khm..khm…yanks…khm… are actively trying to market how consoles are the only thing that ever existed. Like for example gametrailers and to a lesser extent destructoid.

I mean those people were always rabid and humping the marketing machine, not just in games but cars and other stuff too, and they always seem too happy and content… not even slightly suspicious, right?

Sorry to all of us readers, but you’re journos know crap, and they don’t even want to improve. PC Gamer is the only one I can think of at the moment that are worth following, but then again, they are PC so no wonder.
